Revving the engine on a 250 sends what noise it does make backwards, not ideal if you're trying to alert someone ahead of you. |
Depends... If it is really bright outside, it helps. If it's at all dark then it should be off. My MSF teacher told me he recommends it between 9-5 in the summer time. I also tested it by turning my highbeam on in the middle of the day walking backwards from my bike and looking at it and I could see perfectly fine no issue. ( my display picture is actually when I tested it)
Revving the engine was more or less a joke, I'd say it's best to keep the clutch engaged at all times necessary (except when shifting) so you can use the engine braking to help you stop. Horn is obviously the best way to get someone's attention even if it doesn't work 100% of the time.
